Washington:
President Donald Trump released a decree Thursday to deprive social media giants like Twitter of legal immunity for the content they publish.

Trump – upset this week by Twitter tagging one of his tweets for the first time with a fact-checking notice – said regulation is necessary because companies are no longer neutral forums but engage in “political activism”.
